Creating dense collages from various materials including paint skins, sand, and pop imagery, Gordon Cheung produces epic, magical landscapes over the backdrop of Financial Times stock listings. Cheung uses a bold floral arrangement to address contemporary concerns of money, power, and the digital age. Here, the lists of numbers float amidst luminous voids of misty clouds. The transient vase, and psychedelic apparitions, refer to the mysterious, virtual world of speculative wealth signifying a global financial collapse in this eerie scene. Wild fauna and sprawling blossoms also address modern day ecological concerns.
